Still need to feed?

[Do224]

With the change in weather and the start of a flow I’m unsure if I should still be providing additional feed or not…

I’ve got a couple of colonies on double brood, no supers and only a pretty small amount of stores…maybe the equivalent of a brood frame of stores each. Are they still likely to be at risk or can I get the feeders off and give them a super?

They do seem pretty busy foraging now and the forecast is good

A frame os stores will suffice a week so take the feeders off and keep an eye on them for ant stores increase.
Down here I have a three with little stores and supers are pretty bare still, however they are foraging well but appear to be using it up as quick as it comes in. Yet < 1km away in my garden they are foraging heavily having seven supers on, Blackberry appears to be awesome and suspect the lime to.
